Reluctant Stereotypes has been played on NTS in shows including Bahamian Moor, featured first on 4 January 2025. Songs played include The Rounds.

The Stereotypes were a 70's Experimental Jazz Rock band from Coventry, UK. Evolving from Ens, they changed their name ( to Reluctant Stereotypes) following the departure of Pete Bosworth, who was was one of the founding members.

The line up of Stereotypes Mk I, was Steve Haddon - Guitar, Steve Edgson - Clarinet/Sax/Guitar, Mick Hartley - Bass, Chris Dunne - Drums, Martyn Bates - Vocals & Paul Sampson - Guitar.

The band signed with Oval and released their first single in 1979. They suffered a fairly major split shortly afterwards - mainly because Steve Haddon was being really ars3y about the second single! Only two members went on to form the Mk ii version - Steve Edgson & Paul Sampson.
